Last night I was watching actor Dennis Quaid in the new TV Series "VEGAS".
I was thinking that around 1992, Dennis Quaid, came on the old "Regis & Kelly Show" and told "Regis & Kelly" that he was making & producing, starring in motion picture movie on NASCAR's race driver Richard Petty.
"Dennis, I have seen some of the stuff on Eddie Boomhower's web site. I'm not familiar with the State Fair book. Thanks. I'm guessing wayne Dementi was/is from Dementi Studios in Richmond."
